![A Great Blue Heron in flight at Birch Bay.](http://mcmikephoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/SemiahmooHeronMTMScreen6288.jpg)
This shot of a Great Blue Heron in flight was taken at Birch Bay State Park in northwest Washington state. I find these birds to look a bit prehistoric and always an interesting photographic subject – we are lucky to have an abundance of them in the area.
